Tara is known as the bodhisattva of compassion or the swift one because of her immediate response to those requesting her aid. She is also called the liberator and goddess who grants all wishes. Tara is said to have been born from a lotus blossom that sprang from a tear shed by Avalokiteshvara, the god of compassion. She holds the stem of a lotus, a symbol of divine purity and new beginnings.

Symbols are printed in gold on the five traditional Tibetan prayer flag colors: blue, white, red, green, and yellow.
